The Cities That Spend The Most On Bike Lanes Later Reap The Most Reward | Co.Exist | ideas impact: ""Investing in a network of fully separated bike lanes could save cities huge sums in the long-term.

    The world is long on excuses and short on solutions. Do as I did, move closer to work. You make choices where you live and they shouldn't be dominated by how big the back yard is.

    Your point is well-taken. Our towns and cities have developed in a way that has increased distances between homes, and between homes and important places. It is why Walk Score was created, so people would have information on such distances when they decide to locate somewhere.
    We need to create better planning and zoning policies that bring mixed-use, compact development so you are never too far away.
